Stock brokers, bankers, cleras and workingmen clambered on top, and as the ‘buses lumbered past the bis- toric building stood up waving flags, hats and handkerchiefs and calling for cheers for Buller and Roberts, A mighty shout answered them from the crowds through which they were passing. The procession became continuous, yet the crowd never tired of cheering every time the name of White, Buller or Roberts was mentioned, and off came hats and up went the little flags. Grave old financiers waved and yelled as frantically and as often @s the urchins who had clambered the Mansion House steps that Eng- land's honor had been saved. FRENZY ON 'CHANGE. The strain that for 120 days had kept the nation in terrible anxiety was removed. The Lord Mayor showed himself at a window, out of which hung a huge City Imperial Volunteer flag, and the crowd yelled itself hoarse. Staid magnates grab- bed flaring posters from newsboys and brandished “Ladysmith Re- Ueved” to the roaring throng. All thought of business was forgot- ten. Nothing could be done on the| Stock Exchange except sing “God Save the Queen” and cheer. Busi- Rees at the Baltic closed at 1 o'clock. No one wanted to trade on such a day asthis, The stores put up their shutters and gave the.r employees a holiday.

The Lord Mayor wired Lady Buller ts follows: “My cincerest congratu- | had, tied to the driver's whip, a Union morning, and searcely an omnibus passed through the happy streets but Jack or red white and blue stream- ora. All over the United Kingdom these scenes were duplicated. At Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and, fn fact, in all the cities, big and little, flags flew everywhere, whistles tooted, bells chimed and crowds pa- raded the streets, singing patriotic songs. Business was given up for the day, the schools were closed, in the har- bors all the vessels dressed ship, and at the military and naval depots scenes of the wildest enthustasm pre- vatled At Liverpool, addressing a crowd of 20,000 people assembled around the Town Hall, the Lord Mayor said “I thank the Almighty God for the glorious news. We have awaited tm. patiently. We are racisfed that under the humane laws and government of this country the Boers in a very short time will be loyal citizens of the British Empire.” BOERS LOST 473 MEN, STERKSPRUIT, Cape Colony, Fed. —The Boers admit that their losses when Gen.
